While this was an interesting intellectual read, it was not anything enjoyable... the accounts of slavery's atrocities never are. I would not have chosen to read this, if not required for class, but I am glad to have done it.

I ended up liking this so much more than I thought I would. I read it for uni, and in the context of my class it is an incredible insight into the lives of slaves, particularly those of young women.

I cared so much for Linda/Harriet and felt joy and heartbreak right alongside her. I think this one will stick with me.
